The files and computer records of the patients were analyzed retrospectively and sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data were evaluated. </p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> A total of 46 cycles were recorded in 40 patients over a 5-year period. The main indications were low ovarian reserve and/or advanced age (68.3%) and malignancy diagnosis (31.7%). There was a significant difference between elective fertility preservation and oncofertility preservation (Onco-FP) groups in terms of the age (38.4±4.7 vs 28.4±6.1; p=0.001). There was a significant difference between two groups in favor of oncofertility group in terms of anti-Mullerian hormone level, basal follicle-stimulating hormone level, antral follicle count, trigger day estradiol (E2) level, number of obtained oocytes, MII oocytes, and frozen oocytes</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> According to our study, the most prominent oocyte cryopreservation indication was advanced age and/or low ovarian reserve. The number of oocytes collected from patients in the Onco-FP group and thus the number of frozen oocytes was significantly higher than in the elective fertility preservation group, due to younger ages and better ovarian reserve in the Onco-FP group. Abdominal administration of the technique is particularly important for virgin patients in our country. Oocyte freezing is a fertility protection method available in a wide range of indications for reproductive-aged women.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine}, author={Goktepe, Halime and Turkyilmaz, Esengul and Dogan Durdag, Gulsen and Sonmezer, Murat and Atabekoglu, Cem and Ozmen, Batuhan}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={248–253} }
